School Safety - Background Checks for Volunteers


Hello Grace Community: We are reaching out to make you aware of a new security process being implemented this year, which will impact Room Parents and all Volunteers.  Keeping our school, staff and kids safe is of paramount importance. While the sign in/out process has been helpful, Grace Church and School will be enhancing their security over the next few weeks by creating a more robust system for volunteers which may include fingerprinting or background checks.  


In order to understand how many parents this new procedure may impact; we are asking everyone to fill out this survey detailing how involved you anticipate being this year at Grace School.  Once the information is gathered, we’ll be able to assess who may need what clearance; and we’ll reach back out with more specific information and steps for this new process.  


Please look for a sign-up genius from our GPO and stay tuned for more information on next steps.
